On a recent ministry visit to Singapore, I met a pastor who has been involved in church planting in China. He shared how people had been doing Bible studies for 18 months but there had been no conversions to Christ. He asked the non-Christians why they were not responding to the Bible studies and becoming followers of Jesus. They replied that they had learned during their education that the universe and everything in it came about by the natural process of evolution over billions of years and that the Bible just did not make any sense to them; it was just stories. In short, they had an evolutionary worldview and within that worldview, the Bible made no sense at all. We’ve heard of similar stories before from China because the teaching of evolutionism is very strong there.

The pastor realized that dealing with evolutionary misinformation is not an optional extra, but something that must happen ‘up front’ when doing evangelism in China.

The pastor arranged to take them on a weekend retreat to address their evolutionary views, using information that he had learned from his previous exposure to CMI’s teaching and resources. At the end of that weekend one man confessed faith in Christ. Soon followed another, then another, and there is now a church of over 100 new Christians established!
